Chittering is a small fenland village in the district of East Cambridgeshire, Cambridgeshire, in eastern England, lying a few miles north of Ely. The surrounding low-lying landscape of drained fens is characterised by long views over arable fields, drainage ditches and a generally quiet, rural feel.

The local economy is largely agricultural, though many residents commute to nearby centres such as Ely or Cambridge for work. Historically the settlement reflects the long story of fenland farming and drainage, with traditional farmhouses and field patterns surviving alongside a small, close-knit community that tends to rely on services and events in neighbouring villages and towns.
